Our Printed Circuit Board Fabrication capabilities include a wide variety of Densities, Layer Counts, Materials, Processes and Finishes, which are used in our 30,000 sq. ft. fabrication facility located in Silicon Valley, allowing us to specialize in quick turnarounds – 2 Layer projects as fast as the same day or Multi-Layer projects as fast as 24 hours.

As an additional service to our customers with higher volume requirements or lower cost targets than can be achieved with local PCB manufacturing, we also offer off-shore PCB fabrication options. And the best part? All projects manufactured off-shore are inspected at our Silicon Valley facility to ensure every PCB achieves the same high quality standard.

Designing a RoHS capable project? Our team is available to assist with any questions related to RoHS capable surface finishes including lead-free options.

Printed Circuit Board Fabrication

PCB Files

Based on the software we use to process all orders, we only accept the following PCB files as compressed zipped folders with all necessary files included: Gerber, ODB++, or DXF (conversion required, for a fee). We also accept .dip files from DipTrace and .bac files from PCB Creator software, which we can then export as Gerber data. These PCB files must include a minimum of the following: all copper layers of the board, a drill file, and an outline layer, which may need to be exported separately.
